What is a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)?
A PRRA is a legal process that allows individuals who are subject to a removal order to request protection from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
To qualify, you must show that returning to your home country would expose you to:
Persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political views, or social group
Risk of torture
Cruel or unusual punishment or treatment
Who is Eligible to Apply for PRRA?
You may be eligible for a PRRA if:
You’ve been issued a removal order by IRCC
Your refugee claim was not denied in the past 12 months (unless you’re from an exempted country)
You have new evidence or a change in personal circumstances indicating increased risk
You are facing deportation from Canada
